A1 Team Ireland's Adam Carroll drove two stunning laps to put the Celtic Tiger on pole position for both of tomorrow's A1GP Brands Hatch races, boosting the team's chances of lifting the World Cup of Motorsport tomorrow.
In the final segment of Sprint qualifying, nine teams opted to use their one PowerBoost available during qualifying hoping to go for glory in the final Sprint race of the season.
One of the nations to employ this tactic was championship hopeful Portugal. However, on new tyres, Carroll recorded a 1m 11.615s, without using the extra horse power available to claim the front spot. Mexico's Salvador Duran made the most of his PowerBoost to record a 1m 11.653 to start alongside Ireland on the front row, with Netherlands' Bleekemolen ending the session third.
Portugal's Filipe Albuquerque, one of the three teams still in contention for the title, will start fifth. Without PowerBoost Switzerland recorded the eighth quickest time to keep its title hopes alive. Jani will start just ahead of Indonesia's Satrio Hermanto who claimed the team's best grid position in two-years on his return to the race seat.
